Magic Bokeh Pot (Weekend Reflections #24)

On Thursday I saw a large flower pot filled with water that reflected an antique decorative iron fence. There were antique statues and old iron fencing all over the place. I shot this with an aperture that was wide enough to blur the pot and enhance the reflection. I left some depth of field at the top left to show perspective.

We had another record turn out last week. Thank you to everyone for making this a really fun meme. I enjoy looking for reflections, I think it helps my "photographer's eye".I also like looking at and getting ideas from other people's reflections.

Let the fun begin!

"Weekend Reflections" rules are simple:1)Post a photograph taken by you that contains a visual refection.2)After I post my Weekend Reflections photo, add your name, country and link to MckLinky3)Be sure that your link goes directly to your Weekend Reflections post.4)Link Weekend Reflections to your post so other will know where to go if they want to join5)Comment on other Weekend Reflections participant’s blogs.

Feel free to be creative.Remember this meme is for any type of reflection photographs.This meme runs Friday 11 am EST through 11pm Sunday, so feel free to link your post anytime within that time frame. Join the fun!

This is super! Your 'Magic Bokeh Pot' is a terrific title. I'm pretty sure I couldn't blur the pot,enhance the reflection and leave a little depth of field all at once - nice work on all those elements.Mine’s here: Round The Bend.

That is unique! The iron is so clear and I love the bokeh that frames it. I really like how you composed this photo to include the white iron in the corner. This is a grand example of a keen "photographer's eye!"

Beautiful shot. I really like it. I don't think Mr. Linky and I are made for each other. My name on the list won't take me to the blog, but says it doesn't exist. What am I doing wrong? I can click on "homepage" and the name of my blog, and then it goes to the most recent page of my blog.You can delete this comment, as well as least one of the "Bizzy Miss Liz" names. Thanks!

Love that you are so into this & that this meme is really catching on.I have to say looking for reflections has been a big challenge for me, one that I am really enjoying.You are a great inspiration in that department. It seems like it would be an easy thing to do, but it's really not.Yours is perfect this week! I love the blurriness of the flower pot.Thanks James!

Reflections are everywhere. I remember a challenge I participated in a long time ago where I had to look for reflections for the first time. I found it so hard to do! LOL! Now looking for them has almost become a daily routine!

James, I have to say that I'm gob smacked at the variety of depth of field in this photo. I can't figure out how you did it and I'm in awe.

I'm also happy that your meme has really caught fire. It's fun and must give you great satisfaction. I also thank you for your encouraging comments. I have a question for you. Would it ever be possible to attach a thumbnail photo à la CDP with each link on Weekend Reflections? Or am I just showing my ignorance about how difficult this is?
